About the TORPEDO C.A.B.
With each step, Two Notes Audio Engineering implements its know-how to offer the most ad-
vanced simulations on the market and ensure total realism both for the musician (playing sensations)
and the listener (sound quality).
You can load up to 32 Two Notes cabinets in the TORPEDO C.A.B. . Download the free Torpedo
Remote software (Mac OS X and Windows PC) from the Two Notes website, and you will be able to
add or remove the stored cabinets. There are currently more than 80 Two Notes cabinets available in
La Boutique and the Two Notes Store that you can try in real time and purchase with Torpedo Remote
(requires a working Internet connection).
3.1 Tube Stage Output
When using a guitar/bass preamplifier with other speaker emulators, the guitarist/bassist may miss
the power amplifier’s contribution to the overall sonic texture. Many musicians get their sound from a
specific use of that element and this possibility is present in the TORPEDO C.A.B. .
To do this, Two Notes has developed an original tube-stage modeling, giving you the choice
between 4 different tube models (6L6, EL34, EL84 and KT88) in Push-Pull (PP) in class AB or Single
Ended (SE) in class A configurations. You can push this tube-stage like a conventional amplifier and
look for this subtle and particular distortion.
The TORPEDO C.A.B. can be used as a super-DI for keyboards. The tube-amp simulation feature,
developed for guitarists and bassists, is also very interesting to warm up the sound of a synthesizer,
organ or digital piano.
3.2 Section EQ
When recording guitars or basses, it is common to apply a few effects to shape the sound before
sending it to a PA or a recorder. In the TORPEDO C.A.B. you will find a simple but efficient EQ filter with
two modes, GUITAR or BASS.
3.3 The Torpedo technology, convolution and Impulse Responses
The impulse response (IR) of a system describes its behavior under the form of a very detailed filter.
The convolution technique uses IRs to simulate the behavior of particular systems, such as reverbs,
speakers, EQ...
It is the most accurate way to simulate sound signatures that are linear ( i.e. without distortion)
and time-invariant ( i.e. without modulation, compression, hysteresis...). It is particularly well suited for
speaker miking simulation.
Two Notes has developed a unique technology based on an adaptation of convolution tech-
niques. Starting with a measure of a real c microphone setup, the Torpedo TORPEDO C.A.B.
can accurately reproduce the system as it was measured, as well as the microphone’s position in
space, by using IR synthesis .
3.4 Third-party impulse responses
The TORPEDO C.A.B. is capable of delivering the best guitar and bass tones by using the Torpedo
technology, but you can also embed impulse responses you have purchased or downloaded for free
from third-party developers, in WAV or AIFF formats. The TORPEDO C.A.B. may be seen as an "impulse
loader".
You can upload up to 512 third-party IRs in the TORPEDO C.A.B. , by using the free Torpedo Remote
software.
